Yes, I was reading how he was going to make good use of multi-threading capability. The AI was definitely a disappointment in Twilight of the Arnor, it did much better in Dark Avatar IMO. I guess they just couldn't quite get a handle on all those unique buildings etc. In one game I played, the Torians had a massive empire but almost all of their planets had little more than a Spaceport on it, including their home planet. And they had pitiful defences for them all. They were my main competition at the time as far as territory was concerned but they proved to be a cakewalk to destroy. I never played a game after that, it was such a let-down. Hopefully that sort of thing won't happen with the next version.
